There Will Be Blood

Corrected entry: When Daniel and Henry are sitting on the beach the close up of Henry shows him shirtless. When the camera pans back, Henry is wearing a black shirt and bottoms.

Correction: I just saw this movie again, and in the scene described, when the camera pans back, it DOES look like Henry is wearing a shirt and pants, but actually he's simply in a dark shadow. Check it out again.

Continuity mistake: When Eli enters Daniel's office, as he goes to sit down his hand move from in his lap, to his side, then back again.

More quotes from There Will Be Blood

Question: Regarding Paul and Eli. Are they actually twin brothers or is Paul an figment of Eli's imagination and Eli schizophrenic? As far as I remember Paul is only mentioned three times. At the beginning when he meets Daniel, when Eli attacks his father (and says 'you are as stupid as Paul!' and at the end, when Daniel mentions him. Are there any other bits I've missed? Or is it left open to interpretation?

Answer: There is nothing in the film to suggest anything other than that they are brothers. Paul sells out his family, takes the money and goes away. It is only natural that they would not want to speak of him later on. Daniel on the other hand, keeps a certain track on Paul, especially since he also got into the oil business and became a minor competitor to Daniel.
